After serving a truly delicious dinner, some of our teammates shared their testimonies during the chapel service. We were all encouraged by how God has moved in the lives of each other! After the chapel service, we served brownies and ice cream to end the sweet night.

This morning, our team has truly enjoyed taking part this Sunday with the Lake Grove Baptist Church community! We were greeted with this partnership’s hospitality with wrapped gifts for each person at the door, and we participated in the morning Bible study.
The service was warm, passionate, and full of sincere worship and prayer. Additionally, some of our kids shared their testimonies during the service; it was so impactful! Finally, the church prepared an amazing lunch for everyone! We are so grateful!

Our team worked together and prepared a great Vacation Bible School plan for the kids in the local area here at Lake Grove Baptist Church. The kids learned a new dance, played memory verse games, competed in a building blocks construction game, had snack time, and painted decorations. We ended the time with a pizza party for everyone! It was a ton of fun and a blessing to be a part of!

These ladies worked so hard to sort the good bananas from the bad bananas.
Something that would seem so trivial to many of us is an important component of the ministry at St. Vincent. They are mindful that good food and plentiful food is passed out to their community.

After eating lunch in Robert Church Park, our team went to Beale Street to explore! We had some tasty, local snacks and purchased items in the local tourist shops. We also had a delicious dinner at “Huey’s” afterwards!
